Stay in touch with everything through Kenwood's navigation marvel

The Kenwood Excelon DNN991HD navigation receiver puts you at the center of a moving multimedia universe. Not only do you get excellent guidance and an impressive array of standard features, but you can also take advantage of its built-in connectivity to stay in touch with your favorite sources of information or entertainment, whether you're on a brief solo errand run around town or taking a long road trip with the family.

Built-in Wi-Fi keeps you connected wherever you roam

The DNN991HD connects with Wi-Fi hotspots, like ones you can create in your car with a 4G USB dongle, tethered smartphone, or a mobile hotspot device. You'll need to set up an account with Kenwood's online server through your computer, tablet, or smartphone first. Once you're linked, you can dial up web-based content and your own digital songs and videos from various sources, including your phone's apps, your social media feeds, and music you've stored online. You can sync your account with any number of web-based services you use, and then enjoy them through the receiver as long as you're connected.

And you can even use your voice to do a cross-platform search for music. Simply say the name of an artist, and the receiver will search across all your connected sources (such as a thumb drive, iPod®, or your cloud-based music account) for what's available, saving you the hassle of looking through your devices for that one special song.

You can add up to four accounts for other drivers, and your Kenwood receiver will remember each user's preferences and content. A 2-year subscription is included with your purchase, and you'll pay a $60 fee for another two years after the subscription ends.

Easy-to-use Bluetooth® connectivity

Built-in Bluetooth lets you make and take calls through the receiver via your compatible phone — you can access your phonebook, last calls, and missed calls without using your hands. You'll get voice dialing support through most phones, and safe Siri® Eyes Free dialing with compatible iPhones. A wired connection will also get you automatic pairing with any iPhone®.

The Kenwood Excelon DNN991HD also supports wireless audio playback (AD2P) and control (AVRCP) of any Bluetooth enabled audio player or smartphone. Kenwood incorporates aptX technology into the receiver so your streaming tunes sound just as good as over a wired connection.

Speak your way to safer driving

With Nuance speech recognition software on board, the DNN991HD's able to read your incoming text messages, emails, and social media updates aloud when you're connected to the server, so you don't have to take your eyes off the road when someone's trying to get in touch. Want to reply safely? Nuance's speech-to-text capability lets you send an answer back with your voice, which is then translated into text by the receiver. You can keep your hands on the wheel and eyes focused on driving.

Preloaded apps to keep you entertained

Nobody wants to miss something important on their social networks when they're driving. Kenwood lets you tap into certain apps through the receiver when you're connected to the server. You can pull up Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, and Google Calendar, and have updates and reminders read aloud to you. If you're looking for great music on the go, you can search for tunes on YouTube, AUPEO!, and iHeartRadio, then have the audio accompanying your road trip within seconds.

Smartphone compatibility

Not only does Kenwood give you built-in apps, they also let you interact with your favorite road-ready apps through your phone:

iPhone: With a separate cable, you'll get control of your Pandora® Internet radio app through the receiver's touchscreen when connected. Limited control over your music apps is also available via wireless Bluetooth connection. The DNN991HD also offers compatibility with your iPhone's Siri feature for select email, Bluetooth calling, and iPod commands. The receiver's iPhone App Mode offers some basic interaction with select apps through its touchscreen using a wired connection; some apps such as streaming video may require the parking brake to be engaged.

Android™: You'll get control of your smartphone's Pandora app through Bluetooth, so no cable needed. The Kenwood Music Control app also gives you easy search and playback functions of your Android phone's music through the receiver.

The DNN991HD also features an HDMI input, allowing you to connect most compatible Android smartphones and devices. With the correct HDMI or MHL cable connected, you'll be able to view video content from your phone on the Kenwood's screen while parked. The same goes for your iPhone 5 or newer, but you'll need to make sure you have the right combination of cables and adapters from Apple to view videos on the receiver's display.

Garmin guidance will keep you on the right track.

Guidance by Garmin, plus INRIX traffic reports

Hate getting lost? The navigation experts at Garmin have you covered with built-in maps of the entire U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. You'll also have 6 million points of interest to investigate along the way to your destination — you can even pull up the details of each one just by touching it on the map screen. You'll also get reliable routing, with text-to-speech voice prompts that announce actual street names at turns, lane assistance, 3D representations of buildings and landmarks, and realistic views of complicated intersections.

The DNN991HD can also tap into real-time traffic reports from INRIX when connected to the server, so you can see congestion along your route and find a way around it from the driver's seat. INRIX also provides updated area fuel prices, movie times, and available parking spots at pay lots, plus real-time photos from nearby traffic cameras, right on the receiver's screen.

Easy route transfer from your devices

You can map a route of your next journey and send it automatically to the DNN991HD, so it's ready for you when you hit the road. And if you don't have time for that, you can just email the destination location right to the receiver. You can save up to ten custom routes, and you won't need the Internet on the road to access them once they've been loaded to the receiver. You can even have the receiver send navigation map data to the Kenwood Server for future reference.

Control it all through a gorgeous multi-touch display

The DNN991HD's frameless 6.95" screen employs capacitive touch technology similiar to that found in most smartphones and tablets, allowing you to pinch-to-zoom and swipe the display for convenient control. You'll be able to magnify maps, quickly move between sources, and intuitively navigate the various menu screens with familiar finger motions. As an added bonus, the LED-backlit screen's brighter, sharper, and much more responsive than standard touch displays. You can position the screen right where you want it using the motorized reverse-tilt and angle-adjust functions.

Physical connections galore

This receiver not only keeps you connected to your online life on the road — it also offers a wealth of ways to plug in other devices. Two A/V inputs offer connections for more audio/video sources. Dual rear USB ports let you source tunes from both your iPod and thumb drive without the hassle of switching them out. You can also connect up to two cameras, so you can see more of what's around your vehicle when getting in and out of tight spots. If you're looking to add subs and amps, you can take advantage of three sets of high-voltage preamp outputs.

A sound investment

On top of all this, you'll still be able to play CDs and DVDs — including discs loaded with music files — through the DNN991HD, and you'll also be able to pull up high-fidelity AM/FM broadcasts where available though the HD Radio™ tuner. And if you're a satellite radio fan, you can add SiriusXM programming to the receiver with an optional tuner and your paid subscription.

Hear it all, all the time

Kenwood's Drive EQ+ technology boosts certain frequencies that are easily masked by wind and tires rolling on asphalt. It also enhances your music's bottom end as your speed increases, so you can really feel those tunes as you drive. You can also tweak the sound to your ears' content with a 13-band graphic equalizer and other soundshaping tools at your disposal.

Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls?

In most vehicles, you can use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Kenwood stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the Kenwood, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls.

iDatalink Maestro lets you keep your factory extras

If your vehicle comes with factory add-ons like Ford SYNC®, GM OnStar®, or Chrysler Uconnect™, you don't have to worry about losing your favorite conveniences to get navigation and better sound — the DNN991HD offers compatibility you won't find in many other aftermarket radios, thanks to the iDatalink Maestro module (not included).

For Ford SYNC systems, you'll be able to retain voice-controlled features, steering wheel audio controls, and factory audio functions. For GM vehicles, you'll keep your steering wheel audio controls, your factory amp, safety warning chimes, and OnStar, if present, while Chrysler owners will get to keep all their Uconnect functionality. The iDatalink adapter also lets you tap into your vehicle's diagnostic port, so you can check out expanded functionality including gauges, climate controls, a distance sensor, and tire pressure monitor on the Kenwood's screen.

Why install a car stereo with built-in GPS?

Imagine taking a trip as your car's receiver gives you directions, finds the best restaurant for dinner, and plays movies for your back seat denizens. Navigation receivers cover all the bases, with GPS guidance, DVD playback, and a host of other useful features. You can search through millions of points of interest to locate gas stations, restaurants, museums, and other interesting spots, wherever you are. Most receivers offer Bluetooth capability for hands-free calling, along with the ability to search through your iPod playlists with touchscreen controls.

Great unit

Written By Brandon, Charlottesville, VA on Monday, July 06, 2015

Unit continually exceeds my expectations. One thing I didn't know about this unit before buying is the "position" function, where you can plug in the distances between your ears and the speakers, which alters the timing on all channels so all frequencies from each speaker reach your ears at the same time. Pretty cool. The Bluetooth connection drops sometimes but it is a minor annoyance. I bought this unit for the built in Garmin navigation and it does so much more.

perfect integration

I ordered the unit with the required Maestro harness and module for my VW. Super easy ordering as always! With all of the Maestro gear, I have installed the unit retaining ALL factory options! I love that Kenwood is using the iDatalink option for the option to keep factory Bluetooth, heads up display etc. The review UI is perfect! Without having to read any manual i was able to setup the hardware with no issues(www.route-collector.com registration email goes to Spam folder in email). The units bootup time is pretty quick. I was easily able to change all audio settings for the crossovers to pass-through for my aftermarket amps. The layout of the rear panel was well thought out, i have half of the wires to the right and half to the left, this is a big deal as there is not a lot of room behind the radio to stuff wires. I hotspot my phone easily to the unit and the wifi connect works flawlessly!! The iDatalink/Kenwood integration is amazing. I can easily access my car menu through the unit and it works like it came straight from Autostadt! Sound is perfect, as expected with Excelon products!!

crap!

This radio is Garbage and so is kenwood customer service. I have had problems from day 1. A very expensive paper weight. It will not boot up properly, Bluetooth will not connect most of the time, the radio just shuts down or it will not shut down at all. The radio plays when it wants.

Cons:Can't directly connect an Iphone or Ipod without a special adapter cable which costs another $30 and if it is an Iphone 5 or newer you will also need a 30 pin to lightning cable adapter for another $30 or so. Bluetooth is good enough for me.

Outstanding Receiver

Written By Ron, Pensacola, FL on Saturday, November 01, 2014

I wish more OEM features were availble for my 2013 GMC Sierra and there has been a couple of occasions where the receiver has frozen and had to be restarted but overall I think it's an outstanding head unit and I'm extremely happy with it.

Confused by the WiFI Directions ..READ THIS

I love this unit so far. I have only had it a few weeks but the directions especially around the WiFi and Verizon are bad. Hopefully this review will help those that want to use the Verizon dongle. First while Kenwood's customer support gives you two USB options I was only able to get one dongle to work. The Verizon UML295. DO NOT BUY the USB551L. This device works in either the WiFi USB port or in the extra port marked USB. If you want to use the Hot Spot feature you need to use the one labeled USB. I recommend installing the dongle before you turn on the unit. Once the unit boot ups choose home and then find the browser. Enter the mbb.vzw web address, it make take a few tries while the card connects. Scroll down the screen and find the drop down to auto connect then save and your done. If you want to use the Hot Spot feature go to home then menu chose settings Mobile Hot Spot. Go to the Android settings and enter the SSID you want and create a password. Save and choose portable wifi hotspot and it will create a hot spot so you can use the device for your other mobile devices.

Does everything but buy a stylus...

Written By NakieJakie, Atlanta on Wednesday, October 08, 2014

This unit does everything...in fact, too many things I have no interest in using. Twitter? Really. But what I do want it to do it does well. I'm on my second unit after the first started collecting dust underneath the front panel and became a speckled mess. The new unit is 4 months newer and seems to be faster and less buggy...though perhaps that's the result of the firmware update in July. The Inrix traffic is excellent and is more accurate than the traffic on my former unit (the DNX990hd). And the backup camera comes on instantly when put into reverse while the rest of the unit boots up. The audio customization is substantial and the built in EQ is a definite plus. I've got this feeding a JL Audio 500V2 pushing a JL Audio 12W6V3 and I've got a JL Audio 300/2v2 feeding a pair of Focal KRX2s in front. So this system is as good as you may ever hear in anybody's car that is not completely tricked out. It does take a bit to boot but it's basically pushing a computer brain so patience is needed. Overall, this seems like a stable Kenwood after my history of some fairly sketchy units in the past. The nav is absolutely gorgeous with 3D rendering and true topographical views of mountains and other map niceties. It's a lot of scratch but the advanced abilities of this unit to me are worth it. Word to the wise...once I bought a stylus and stopped using my index finger to navigate the screen, the display mess virtually disappeared. This is a fingerprint nightmare!

Pros:Gorgeous Garmin screen. Instant on back camera that fills the display. Tremendous options once a hot spot is established.

Cons:Complicated setup and menus. Takes much longer to boot than anything else I've ever used. A fingerprint, dust, and dog hair magnet. And the screen's capacitive ability makes it a reflective nightmare during sunlight hours. With a sunroof open during the day, the display is virtually opaque looking.

Great Unit

Kenwood did rush it out the door too quickly without good documentation and many bugs. They should have listened to the reviews from the 990 and put in more memory and a faster processor. The unit has great sound, fully controllable with many ways to enhance a tailor it to your tastes for each accessory. The video is sharp and crisp and can be tailored to your preference for each application. Networking works well, many options all working seamlessly together. The controls are simple but most do multiple things which you have to learn, they are not initiative. The remote is not fully programed, the features are there but still need some work. Speech recognition has the same problems. They are putting out updates so it is improving. Overall a good unit, with nice hardware, but some programing and documentation is still left to do.

Pros:A good looking unit, great touch screen, sound & video. The GPS unit works great with nice routing features, accurate positioning, and good selection of Poi's lots of ways to view and be routed. Multiple zones for movies in the back seat, music in the front, etc. 2 audio - video out jacks for this. Duel camera inputs for side (or front) view and rear view cameras with clear high-resolution viewing. The touch screen angle can be adjusted to get rid of most the glare on sunny days. Nice unit.

Cons:Kenwood did not finish programing or documenting the unit when they released it. Many features are not in the manual even though they work mostly, like the Intrix traffic, gas price, and parking service, Sirius traffic and weather, and many other services. Crutchfield has been a great help but I have had to go to Kenwood on some things and that is not a pleasant experience. They seem to have two types of rep, the nice dumb ones and the rude knowledgeable ones, don't know which is worse.

Its an ok deck but not work the price

I replace my kenwood DNX9990HD with this unit. I like the HDMI app mode, but the unit is not as fast as my DNX9990HD, it also has a lot of features that don't work like posting your location on facebook, and route collector does not work that well too. I also find in order to log in to gmail you have to set your security level on your google account to allow unsecured connections, not wise if you using your unit on a open hotspot. I also had found a problem when using USB Storage device for your music, when you export your GPS track logs on to the USB device the music app on the radio to listen to your music will fail to read your USB device any more. Afte some google'ing that issue has been there over a year with the DNN990HD unit and kenwood yet to fix the problem with a few people reporting the problem. If kenwood can get all the software issues fix, this unit would be a nice one, till then I give this a 3star unit.

More Than You Could Wish For

Awesome stereo! The full frame glass is sweet and like most cell phones, you quietly wish you would have more buttons to make changes so you don't have to smudge the glass all the time. The operator GUI interface starts to make sense the more you play with it and see what happens. The amount of control you have to adjust the sound is amazing. These units have come a long ways from simple Treble, Bass, and Balance adjustments. Words of Caution or an FYI 1) It does not seem that the Smartphone control will work with a Motorola phone. At least my Razr Maxx is not listed as a phone that works and I cannot download the required app from the app store, and my screen will not appear when I connect to the stereo. The Bluetooth only works just fine 2) The only way to send a signal from a MP3 player 3.5mm jack, to the unit, is through the audio/video IN RCA inputs. Be sure the jack for both audio and video will work with the output of your MP3 player. Mine would not so I left the video unused and only went audio/stereo only 3.5mm plug that converts to RCA. 3) Be real sure which Kenwood cord you need for the HDMI Out at the back of the deck based on what phone you plan to hook up to. I picked up a Wi-Fi Easy Jack from Verizon which works really nice with this car stereo. It is the new replacement for the old 4G Dongles. Can access Gmail, weather, heart radio, etc. 4) When you first fire up the stereo do a master reset to default before starting to set things up. Fixed quirks for m

Pros:The glass and the frame. The amount of control for the sound in the car. I called Kenwood on the phone to ask a tech question and someone actually answered and helped me out. Kind of rare with companies now days.

Cons:I had a spec/dust of something behind the glass in the upper left hand corner of the display. I decided it is not worth it to pull of the unit to send it back. For music on a memory stick, inserted behind the glass, I have yet to see folders work that will allow your to put playlist in folders and then select from there. It will display all the songs but not show folders. At least so far for me

kenwood

great radio doe more then i needed only problem is it takes like 30 seconds to hear any music when first turned on, but i guess this is expected considering all the programing that needs to load first.

Kenwood Excelon DNN991HD

This unit certainly sounds good and is pretty easy to install. However, the documentation leaves a little to be desired. There are so many features to this radio that it will take anyone a while to be proficient on all of them. You can customized the sound stage to real y get the best sound out of your vehicle. One thing not mentioned in the documentation is that you will need to have a garmin folder on your SD card or the nag will not be able to write to the SD for updates. It does take about 1 min to boot to music but the rear camera is available immediately after turn on.

Pros:Great looking, features, sounds very good, rear camera is available just after turn on.

Tundra gold!!!

Written By DanielB, Houston, Tx on Tuesday, June 03, 2014

Ok, first off I must say that it took forever for this unit to become available to me, and I had to jump through more hoops than a circus lion to get my hands on it!!! But, once I finally got it and programmed the idatalink Maestro I was thoroughly impressed with the overall quality and excellence of the product. And as mentioned before the double ability of the buttons was rather impressive, although some of them didnt work they weren't important functions and iffy at best given that I put it in a 2008 Tundra crewmax and support for this vehicle isnt all that great for now. I actually had a Pioneer 8000nex installed while I waited to get this HU and it was fantastic!!! I was kinda hesitant when I finally got the Kenwood in because the ability startup ease of use sound and functionality was everything I have come to expect from Pioneer headunits. Out of the box and flat the sound from the Pioneer was better, and noticeable as I have two sets of JBL 660GTi on a JL 600/4HD. I was initially saddened by the lackluster sound I was getting. Kenwood did save itself as I delved into the settings and all I can say is WOW!!! The ability to tune and tweek the sound of this headunit is simply stunning, everything I was hoping for and then some, noticeably outshining the Pioneer unit as I tweeked and tuned this to my hearts content. I am currently awaiting two jl stealthboxes to put in the back and will run those on the JL 1200/1HD amp, and cannot wait.

Pros:So much to offer it will definitely take some time to fully realize the capabilities of this unit, but for audiophiles this is part of the fun in owning such a wonderful device.

Cons:Has a somewhat lengthy startup time and the features available on the map are not as nice as the pioneer but if you havent been able to compare the two you will not be disappointed with the service.

DNN991

After owning the DNN990 and returning it,I must say out of the box. The wifi works very smoothly when connected to a hot spot. The boot time is a little faster than the 990.And the screen response is pretty snappy. I really like Garmin navigation,the features work well.The live view,gas price and the online trip planning is a bonus. So far so good.

Mustnag Installation

I installed this in my 2014 Mustang GT using the idatalink dash adapter and the Maestro RR interface module. The installation was pretty straightforward and the documentation from both idatalink and Kenwood were great. The only minor issue I had was with the satellite radio. Contrary to what I've read on other blogs, you will need the SVX200 tuner with this unit. The OEM satellite tuner is part of the stock head unit so once this is pulled, it's gone. The SVX200 tuner antenna connection is not compatible with the stock antenna lead, but if you remove the end clip on the OEM antenna wire, it will work. I jury-rigged a couple of wire ties to make sure the antenna wire didn't pop loose from the tuner but otherwise, it works great and I am re-using the OEM satellite antenna.

The radio itself works great. Startup times are 5-10 seconds but not too bad overall considering all the SW the thing is running. The Ford integration, particularly with SYNC and the diagnostics screens, are fantastic. Using the climate controls on the head unit take some getting used to but it's not bad. The ability to re-assign the steering wheel and idatalink dash buttons for multiple functions is great. Sound quality is noticeably improved even with the stock speakers/amps, from the OEM H/U. I'm not using the wifi functions too much yet. I'm not sure I ever really will given how easy it is to do most everything on an iphone. It's cool, though...

Pros:Sound quality, interface, integration with Ford OE, quickly responds to inputs from the touchscreen.
Idatalink dash kit and maestro module work as advertised and the info on the secondary display is better than stock
Engine and TPS integration from both Kenwood and idatalink is worth every penny
Crutchfield customer service and support we're great when I ran into an issue with Bluetooth. They were able to tell me what part of the manual I should have paid more attention too to fix the issue

Cons:Screen is a little hard to see in the daytime with sunglasses (would it have been so hard to include a brightness control?),
The home screen icons are not nearly as customizable as they should be. I can't move items from the OEM menu up to the home screen, for instance
Startup times could be annoying if you're constantly shutting off the engine.
These are minor issues but it seems like they'd be easy to fix, which makes them more annoying than anything else. Overall I'm very impressed.

Awesome

Written By Greged01, Scottsburg on Sunday, May 18, 2014

I have to say reading the reviews I was more than skeptical about purchasing the Kennwood DNN991HD after reading all the reviews on the DNN990HD. But I wanted more from my car stereo!!! So I took the plunge, after having the JVC and Pioneer touch screens I say this blows them out of the water. Start up time is not bad but what most concerned me was the back up camera that worked even during start up. Remember you have to turn on this feature as I was getting frustrated at first and was thinking oh my what have I done. But this thing works flawlessly and is a smoke wagon full of extras that are to me just awesome. Install was simple if you have had the JVC/Kennwood series this is a snap. Its the same harness!!! Bonus I only had to connect the park cable and the reverse wire everything else just plugged in. I still have a lot to learned on this unit and some of my amusement is in the learning. You can teach and old dog new tricks. But as far as lag time goes I really have not seen any. Surfing the internet, getting email read to you and the touch to speak feature is a nice bonus. THe garmin navigation unit works as expected and the nice part if you have owned a garmin is the layout is the same so its not like looking at a foreign screen. I have installed this in my F150 Supercrew and after having the stock a JVC/Pioneer this one has the best sound and let me tell you the sound options are great and can adjust for almost any variable.

Pros:Easy Install, Nice Sound a lot of Features. Tilt forward is nice especially in the F150 and radio location takes the glare off on a sunny day

Onboard Navigation

Garmin & HERE Navigation: With built-in Garmin & HERE navigation
software and map data, the Kenwood DNN991HD features on-screen maps of the
United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. The built-in maps include over 6-million
Points of Interest (POIs) such as hotels, restaurants, gas stations,
attractions, parking, airports, ATMs, and more. The built-in navigation software
provides you with calculated on-screen routes and audible directions to follow
in order to reach your destination safely.

Note: Car navigation maps are frequently updated. While
this database was judged to be as accurate as possible at the time of its
release, a map database can never be 100% accurate. Road information that is
maintained in the map databases, such as turn restrictions or road names may
change over time.

Software/Map Data Updates: When the preloaded maps are
considered out of date, the DNN991HD will provide periodic notification at
startup. Garmin software and map updates can be downloaded as required, via
SD/SDHC memory card. To find a software or map update, please go to
www.garmin.com/kenwood.

GPS Receiver & Antenna: The Kenwood DNN991HD employs a
high-sensitivity GPS receiver that is forgiving of less than optimal antenna
placement, giving you additional placement options. The included GPS antenna
features a self-adhesive base and an attached 11.5' cable which plugs into the
back of the head unit. The GPS antenna is designed to be mounted inside the
vehicle on the dash. The GPS antenna measures 1.3125" (w) x 0.625" (h) x 1.4375"
(d). The self-adhesive pad measures 2.5625" square.

Acquisition Time: 29 seconds (cold)

Update Rate: 1/second, continuous

Accuracy: <2.5 meters continuous (Position), 0.1
meter/sec (Velocity)

Note: The navigation receiver took approximately 24.3
seconds to calculate directions from Virginia to California. It only took
9.7 seconds to calculate directions from Virginia to Maryland. These tests
were done inside the
Crutchfield Lab of the Crutchfield Head Quarters. Results will vary
based on length of calculated route and your surrounding area.

HERE Traffic Data: HERE Traffic Data provides real-time
traffic data for many major cities in North America, including the United States
and Canada (a one time $60 subscription fee is required). If traffic is
congested up ahead or there is a road closure along your route, the navigation
system will automatically re-navigate the route to show you how to get to your
destination, quickly and easily. The navigation system may route you through a
traffic delay if a better alternative route does not exist; the delay time is
added into your estimated time of arrival automatically. When the unit is
receiving traffic information, a traffic icon appears in the upper-left corner
of the Map page. The traffic icon changes color to indicate the severity of
traffic conditions on your route or on the road you are currently traveling.

iPod/Android Integration

iPod Audio/Video Playback: The Kenwood DNN991HD supports
direct connection of your 30-pin or Lightning-connector iPod/iPhone through its
rear-panel USB port and 3.5mm input or HDMI input. The DNN991HD offers
audio/video playback of connected Apple iPod/iPhone models (video can only be
displayed while the vehicle is in park).

30-Pin Dock Connector: If you own an older iPod/iPhone
with the 30-pin dock connector, you can enjoy audio and video files on your
Apple device through the Kenwood DNN991HD. Using Kenwood's KCA-IP202 iPod
video cable (113KCIP202,
sold separately), you can enjoy audio playback of your stored music and
music apps on your iPod/iPhone; plus video playback of your stored movies
and video apps (like Netflix) on your iPod/iPhone through the Kenwood
DNN991HD. If you only desire audio playback, you can use Kenwood's KCA-IP102
iPod cable (113KCIP102,
sold separately) or the dock connector-to-USB cable that comes with your
Apple device to connect your iPod/iPhone to the DNN991HD.

Lightning Connector: If you have a newer iPod/iPhone
with the Lightning-connector, you can use the Lightning-to-USB cable that
came with your Apple device to connect your iPod/iPhone to the Kenwood
DNN991HD for audio playback only. You'll be able to listen to stored music
and music apps on your Lightning-connector Apple device through the Kenwood
DVD receiver. To watch stored video and video apps (like Netflix) in
addition to music from your Lightning-connector Apple device on the Kenwood
DNN991HD, you'll need Apple's
Lightning-to-Digital AV adapter, a
Lightning-to-USB cable, and a mobile-grade HDMI cable; such as the
Kenwood KCA-HD100 (all sold separately) - this type of connection also
requires Bluetooth pairing.

Note: You will need to
select which type of connection method you are using in the head unit's
setup menu.

Head Unit Control: The Kenwood head unit allows you to
navigate your iPod's music library by Playlist, Artists, Album, Song, Genre,
Song, Podcast, or Audiobook. Your iPod's video library can be searched by
Video Playlist, Movie, Music Video, TV Show, Video Podcast, Rented Movie, or
iTunesU. You can then search each of these categories using the head unit's
touchscreen slider function (categories will be listed in alphabetical
order). You can even search your iPod's music library by Album Art and
create a Favorite List, which contains an original playlist of your favorite
10 albums. In addition, the head unit offers Link Search, which allows you
to play songs related to the currently playing song. Link Search lets the
head unit create an album list of the currently playing artist, a song list
of the currently playing album, a artist list of the currently playing
genre, or a album list of currently playing composer. The head unit also
supports basic playback functions such as Play/Pause, Fast Forward/Rewind,
Previous/Next Track and Repeat/Random of your connected iPod/iPhone. Newer
iPod/iPhones with iOS 6.0+ will still allow you to navigate stored music and
movies from the Apple device's touchscreen, as well access music and video
apps; older iPod/iPhone devices will be locked during connection.

Song/Artist Info & Album Art: The DNN991HD will display
your iPod/iPhone's stored music information including Track number, Elapsed
playing time, Song/Album title, Artist name, and Album art. Pandora and
iHeart Radio will also display metadata information. Other music apps will
only display song/artist information in Apps mode.

Battery Charging: The head unit's USB connection
provides 1A of current to power and charge your connected iPod/iPhone when
your vehicle's ignition switch is set to the 'ACC' or 'On' position. This
unit does not charge the iPad. If your iPod/iPhone has no initial battery
charge, then the unit will not recognize it.

Apps Mode for iPhone & Android (via HDMI):
You can listen to audio from stored music and music apps, as well as watch video
from stored movies and movie apps (like Netflix) on your iPhone (iOS 7+) or
Android smartphone, using the head unit's HDMI input and its Apps Mode. The head
unit will mirror the display of your mobile device (not always full-screen) when
in App Mode. App Mode also provides basic playback control from the receiver's
touchscreen (iPhone only). Basic playback functions include Play/Pause, Fast
Forward/Rewind, and Previous/Next Track. Using either a compatible iPhone or
Android smartphone, you can also exit App Mode and access Pandora, and
iHeartRadio directly from the head unit's touchscreen with advance music
navigation and control. In addition, the iPhone lets you access its stored music
and video library from the head unit's touchscreen with advance search and
playback control when connected via HDMI. Access to your iPhone and
Android smartphone 's downloaded applications will depend on the availability of
a cellular and/or WiFi network for purposes of allowing your iPhone or Android
smartphone to connect to the Internet. Not all Android and Apple iOS apps are
guaranteed to be compatible.

iPhone Connectivity: If you have a newer iPhone with
the Lightning connector, you will need Apple's
Lightning Digital AV adapter and
Lightning-to-USB cable; if you have an older 30-pin iPhone 4/4S, you'll need a
30-pin digital AV adapter and Kenwood's
KCA-IP102 iPod cable (all sold separately). In addition, for both types
of iPhones, you will need a a mobile-grade HDMI cable; such as the
Kenwood KCA-HD100 (sold separately). This type of connection also
requires Bluetooth pairing. The HDMI connector provides the audio/video
playback, while the USB connection charges your iPhone device. The Bluetooth
connection allows you to control basic playback functions from the head
unit.

Android Connectivity:The head unit's HDMI port is MHL compatible; this means you can
simply connect your MHL-compatible Android smartphone to the receiver via a
MHL-to-HDMI cable; such as
Kenwood's KCA-MH100 cable (sold separately). This type of connection
also requires Bluetooth pairing. The Samsung Galaxy S3/4/5 and Note II/III
requires an additional 3rd party MHL microUSB 5-pin to 11-pin adapter (sold
separately). The HDMI connector provides audio/video playback and charging
of your Android smartphone's battery, while the Bluetooth connection is also
needed for communication. Check
here for a list of compatible MHL-enabled Android phones.

Note: Apps Mode does not require that the parking brake be
engaged. You will need to unscrew the HDMI bracket on the back of receiver
before plugging in your HDMI cable; the bracket needs to be re-attached once
your HDMI cable is connected.

24 Bit D/A Converter: The Kenwood DNN991HD utilizes a 24-bit
digital to analog converter for superior sound quality with a Signal-to-Noise
ratio up to 90dB.

MOSFET Amplifier: The Kenwood DNN991HD is equipped with a
MOSFET amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET
amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased
power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More
power means louder and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not
pushing the limits of the amplification circuit. The power output specs for the
DNN991HD are as follows:

Digital Signal Processing (DSP): In order to optimize the
sound quality, you can use the unit's DSP to set the type of vehicle, speaker
sizes & locations, listening distances, and x-over points.

Car Type: Select your car type to automatically set the
Delay Time of each speaker for timing adjustment of sound output of each
channel to have the highest surround effect. Choose from Compact, Full Size
Car, Wagon, Mini Van, SUV, or Off

Listening Position + Digital Time Alignment: For a
better sound-stage you can select your optimal listening position. You can
choose from All, Front Left, Front Right or Front. You can also select to
manually fine tune the sound stage, using Digital Time Alignment (DTA) by
selecting the distance (0-20') for each individual speaker in the vehicle
compared to your listening position.

Speaker Location: You can set the location of your
vehicle's Front and Rear speakers. The Front speakers can be set to Door, On
Dash, or Under Dash. The Rear speakers can be set to Door, Rear Deck, 2nd
Row, or 3rd Row.

Speaker Size: You can select the speaker size for your
Front and Rear speakers (including tweeter), as well as your subwoofer. The
Front and Rear speakers can be set to OEM, 3.5", 4", 4.75", 5", 6.5", 6.75",
7", 4x6", 5x7", 6x8", 6x9", or 7x10". The tweeter can be set to Small,
Middle, Large, or None. The Subwoofer can be set to 6.5", 8", 10", 12", or
15"+. Select None if you have no Rear speaker or sub.

Music Enhancers: You can restore the sound lost due to audio
compression to a realistic sound.

Realizer: When MP3, WMA, or AAC files encoded at a low
bit rate (less than 96 kbps, 44.1k, 48kHz) are played, the Realizer feature
boosts low frequencies which can be lost during compression. Set to Level 1,
Level 1, Level 3, or Off.

Supreme: When MP3, WMA, or AAC files encoded at a low
bit rate (less than 96 kbps, 44.1k, 48kHz) are played, the Supreme Setting
function restores their high frequencies so the sound quality is closer to
files encoded at a high bit rate. The processing is optimized for the
compression format and the bit rate used. When the Supreme Setting is Off,
the unit plays the original sound stored in the audio file.

Sound Effects: The DNN991HD provides unique sound effect
adjustments.

Space Enhancer: You can set the Space Enhancer to
Small, Large, or Off. Each setting value indicates the soundscape level.

Elevation: You can virtually raise the sound position
heard from your speakers. The Elevation Level can be set to High, Low, or
Off.

Volume Offset: The level of each source may be
independently adjusted to prevent radical leaps in output volume when
switching from one source to another. The available settings range from -8
to +6.

Drive EQ: Drive EQ setting automatically optimizes the
sound quality to meet the current vehicle speed by GPS to compensate for
road noise.

Dynamic Range: The dynamic range can be adjusted by
selecting either Normal, Wide or Dialog. Dialog makes the total sound volume
become larger as compared with Wide and Normal, allowing you to listen to
the movie's dialogue more clearly. This is effective only on Dolby Digital
software.

Key Beep: The in-dash navigation head unit provides an
audible beep to confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off.

AV Connection

Dual A/V Inputs: The Kenwood DNN991HD navigation receiver is
fitted with two rear-panel audio/video inputs. The AV-1 input consists of a
composite video jack and stereo RCA audio jacks for connection of an external AV
source, such as TV tuner, Blu-ray player, or game system. The AV-2 input
consists of a 3.5mm jack for connection of portable mobile device and also
serves as the A/V input for your USB-connected iPod (using proprietary Kenwood
cable).

HDMI/MHL Input: The In addition to Apps mode for iPhone and
Android, the head unit's HDMI/MHL input can be used to connect almost any
external mobile AV source with an HDMI output; such as a TV tuner, Blu-ray
player, or game system. The HDMI input will provide video and audio playback.
Your vehicle's parking brake will need to be engaged to view video on the
receiver's screen. Playback functions will need to be controlled from your
HDMI-connected device.

A/V Output (with Dual Zone): The unit features a composite
video jack and 3.5mm audio jack to output A/V signals to an optional monitor and
headphone system; you can also route the audio of the the dual zone source to
the head unit's rear speakers. The unit's A/V output can be set to Disc, AV-1, iPod, or
Off. You can adjust the volume of the 2nd Zone independently from 0 to 35. You
can select between a 16:9, 4:3 LB, or 4:3 PS Aspect Ratio for the unit's video
output to match your connected monitor.

Note: Different sources from iPod/iPhone cannot be set as
front and rear sources independently. Only one iPod/iPhone source can be set
as front and rear sources. Apps mode and the HDMI/MHL input are not
available to the second zone.

Dual Camera Inputs: The unit features a composite video
input for connecting an optional rear & front view camera, such as the Kenwood
CMOS-230 (113CMOS230, sold separately). The video from this connection can be
set to display when switched to this input, or display the rear view camera
video automatically when the vehicle is shifted into Reverse gear. The
purple/white wire (within 4-pin harness) must be connected to the vehicle's
reverse lamp circuit for automatic video switching. Automatic video switching
takes approximately 1.0 seconds.

Note: By connecting the Kenwood CMOS-320 Universal
Multi-View Camera (113CMOS320, sold separately) to the DNN991HD, you gain
the capability of turning parking guidelines on/off, as well as cycle
through five different multi-views right from the touchscreen. You can also
toggle between front & rear cameras when using two CMOS-320 simultaneously.

OEM/Remote Control

OEM Integration: This Kenwood navigation receiver is
compatible with the iDatalink Maestro RR (794ADSMRR,
sold separately); a web programmable module that will permit the aftermarket
Kenwood receiver to work with select Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles that
feature the factory SYNC system; as well as select GM vehicles with factory
OnStar; select Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep vehicles with U-Connect, and select
Volkswagens with factory digital amplifier. The iDatalink Maestro RR lets
Ford/Lincoln/Mercury, GM, Dodge/Chrysler, and VW owners swap out their factory
radio for this aftermarket Kenwood head unit; while retaining the Ford Sync
system, GM OnStar system, Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep U-Connect system, steering wheel
controls, Bluetooth, USB interface, Satellite Radio, and 911 assist. You also
get to keep the hands-free mic that comes with the car (which is specially tuned
to that particular vehicle). In some installations, the iDatalink Maestero RR
lets you configure the head unit to operate interior climate controls and
provides extra visual data; such as User Selectable Gauges, Vehicle Info (Tire
Pressure/Battery Voltage/Check Engine Codes/Door Ajar Warning), and Visual Park
Assist.

Note: The iDatalink Maestro RR is web programmable,
which means you'll need to flash the iDatalink Maestor RR interface module
with the correct firmware from
iDatalink's
website. In addition to flashing the iDatalink Maestro RR module, you'll
also need a
vehicle specific harness (sold separately). The Kenwood receiver's OEM
Setup menu must also be configured with your compatible vehicle's factory
system before initial operation.

Steering Wheel Remote Compatibility: The head unit features
an OEM steering wheel remote control input wire (blue/yellow) within the
included wiring harness that lets you keep your vehicle's factory radio steering
wheel remote controls when used with an optional
steering wheel audio control adapter (sold separately). Please consult
Crutchfield's
Outfit My Car to see if your vehicle is compatible.

Remote Control: The included IR remote control (KNA-RCDV331)
is designed for wireless operation of this Kenwood navigation receiver. The
wireless remote controller operates off of two supplied "AAA" batteries. The
remote operates off of IR transmission, so the KNA-RCDV331 must be pointed at
the front-panel of the Kenwood head unit within direct line of sight. The remote
operates Audio, Video, Navigation, and Bluetooth functions.

Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs

Kenwood pulls out all the stops with this navigation receiver

I'm a big fan of the Kenwood Excelon Series stereos. They typically have a nice balance of style and function. Recently, I got a chance to play with the DNN991HD, Excelon's top of the line, and it more than lived up to my expectations.
The 7" capacitive touchscreen display was quick and responsive, and had a high-quality feel that matches its price tag. The operating system and menus were as intuitive and handy as I've seen on this style of receiver. To top it all, Kenwood has nicely integrated a voice command system that operates nav as well as letting you switch audio sources and search music hands-free. An external button that you can mount almost anywhere on your dash (and the voiced prompt that follows) made this feature feel like I had my own on-board butler. I loved it.
The native apps like Twitter and Gmail feel frivolous, but that doesn't make them any less fun to use. They worked really well and were easy to command. I'm not a total nut about supreme audio specs, but I appreciated that the DNN991HD allows for FLAC lossless playback and Bluetooth with aptX for high-quality audio streaming. For me, that's a fine attention to detail that speaks to the quality of the receiver on the whole.
If you're in the market for a high-end navigation receiver, this one is worth a close look.
